Abstract
A cable connector system for connecting a cable to an electronic component through a plug coupled to the cable and a receptacle coupled to the electronic component. The plug provides a unique structure that is easily connected to the receptacle without the use of tools. Additionally, the plug provides cover over the end of the plug to which the cable is connected so that the plug may be easily pulled past obstructions with which a conventional plug could become entangled.
